This tour was exactly what we were looking for! The private car made everything so easy, and Nicolas was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The Dune was breathtaking (we were lucky with the weather), and we loved the oyster tasting in Gujan-Mestras. No stress, no crowds – just pure bliss. If you’re visiting Bordeaux, this is a must-do experience!

We originally planned to visit Arcachon by train, but we’re so glad we booked this private tour instead. It saved us so much time, and we got to see places that would have been impossible to reach on our own. The car was super comfortable, and the audioguide in Italian was a great bonus. Thank you Nicolas.
